Fantasy football projections, Week 2: Falcons-Giants featuring Julio Jones, Roddy White and Odell Beckham Jr.

The Week 2 matchup between the Atlanta Falcons and the New York Giants features two teams that endured close finishes to start the season. We've got the fantasy projections courtesy of numberFire.

Atlanta Falcons

Anybody who has played fantasy football for any length of time knows that wide receiver Julio Jones is the real deal. He proved it in Week 1 against the Philadelphia Eagles, catching nine passes for 141 yards and two touchdowns. Jones is the definition of an elite pass catcher and he should have no trouble putting up the numbers that we're used to against the Giants.

His numbers will come via the hand of quarterback Matt Ryan. Ryan had over 200 passing yards at halftime against the Eagles last week. He looked poised to finish the contest with monster stats, but the Eagles did pick him off twice in the game. Ryan has always been in that immediate second tier of quarterbacks. This season, given that he has Jones alongside a healthier Roddy White, his numbers should be as steady as they've ever been. Start him in New York.

New York Giants

Odell Beckham Jr. exploded onto the fantasy scene last year, but his 2015 season started off with a whimper as he caught just five passes for 44 yards against the Dallas Cowboys last week. It may just be a timing thing. The good news is that Beckham was targeted eight times in the game and he is still going to finish the season as one of the league's elite receivers. The Falcons defense seemed greatly improved in Week 1, but Beckham is a great talent in his own right. He'll be in starting lineups everywhere on Sunday.

Beckham's production moving forward will hinge largely on the performance of quarterback Eli Manning. Manning put together a pedestrian 20 completions for 193 passing yards and no touchdowns in Dallas, and he needs to be better going forward. The Falcons are usually pretty friendly to quarterbacks, so Manning will get a chance to redeem himself in Week 2. He's an automatic start in deeper leagues. Otherwise it really depends on what owners have on the roster.
